And no, it wasn't Sean Payton. He didn't even know who he was until Romo came to camp.

YR

that is totally and completely untrue.
tony romo was the the nfl combine with every major cowboys official in town for attendance.

Romo attended the 2003 NFL Combine, but, despite intriguing some scouts, went undrafted by any NFL team during the 2003 NFL Draft. Throughout the draft, Romo was assured by Sean Payton of the Cowboys' interest (Romo was also intensely pursued by former Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan), and shortly afterwards was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Cowboys.

payton told bp he didn't need to make a large bid because romo really wanted to come to dallas knowing there was a spot to win at qb.

Except for center Casey Wiegmann and guard Ryan Lilja, who were signed in 2010 and helped the Chiefs go 10-6 that season; and offensive tackle Eric Winston, who helped the Chiefs rank fifth in the NFL in rushing this season, Pioli had little but embarrassment to show for his dealings in free agency.

Just as Pioli traded Gonzalez as way to divest the team of players from the Peterson era, he ran off five-time Pro Bowl guard and team leader Brian Waters after the 2010 season. Waters signed with New England as a free agent and helped the Patriots to the Super Bowl in 2011.

Pioli also failed to retain cornerback Brandon Carr, who signed a five-year, $50 million contract with Dallas during the off-season and had a brilliant season with the Cowboys. Meanwhile, Stanford Routt, whom Pioli signed to a three-year, $31.5 million contract last spring, was released at mid-season. And the major free-agent signing of 2011, wide receiver Steve Breaston -- who signed for five years at $22.5 million -- has been healthy but inactive for several games, even though the Chiefs were thin at the position.

The four draft classes under Pioli’s watch failed to produce consistent playmakers. It took four years for the Chiefs to realize defensive end Tyson Jackson, the third overall pick in 2009, could be a three- down player, and he’ll likely be a free agent in 2013.

While a two-time Pro Bowl pick, Eric Berry has proven that taking a safety with the fifth overall pick in 2010 was a reach. And the biggest bust of all was wide receiver Jon Baldwin, taken in the first round in 2011 despite all kinds of red flags. Baldwin has caught two touchdown passes in two years.

Jerry already has plenty of people that have his ear to fill the consultant role. Pioli isn't one of them. Someone from his inner circle would have to bring in Pioli for that to happen.

Pioli will not happen and this comes with no opinion from me saying whether it would be good or bad if he did.

But, Parcell's is a voice seriously listened to by Jerry and Pioli is Parcell's son in law and had great success with Pacell's (Big Bill) ex counter part "Little Bill" (Belichick).

If what you are saying in bold is accurate, and it does make sense. Then the bolded would only substantiate that what you have said unbolded as incorrect. Furthermore substantiated the possibility of Pioli which I find ridiculous anyways.

That is of course if Reid and the new supposed GM in KC which may already be Heckert, cannot co-exist with Pioli and he negotiates another opportunity elsewhere.

Doubt it would be here though.

Better chance Jerry's going to close his open door, probably make Callahan or some other bird the OC and have everything go through Red. This is the culture change Jerry talks about. We-ll go 7-9 to 9-7 again, Red will be gone and Jerry will do the open door policy again with whatever new bird he puts in as HC once Garrett is let go.
